BTW, keep in mind that I just did this mod because I wanted something and I got the Vista Cruise for free.

I still think it is a flimsy piece of junk, looks ugly as sin, only works marginally well, and I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one.
Come on........don't hold back..............let it alll out and tell us how you feel.

I use mine all the time... I have the set lever a little higher though... I like it!

Vista Cruise Mods

Well I just installed my Vista (2 days ago) and so far I like it. It's all that's needed to rest your right hand and look weird at the same time. I mean at least to bikers in cages you're passing by. It is not cruise contrl, but who wants to leave their hand off that throttle to very long anyway.

I appreciate the mark improvement Mr. CQ has made on his throttle lock. It looks great! However, having read the reviews in this thread I had come to expect this product would be totally ugly. I mean Butt ugly! Well, to my surpirse I find it isn't that bad. I mean sure it's plastic, but so are a lot of our parts, and yes it looks like a sadistic method of torture to our controls with the little arm blocking access to your God given rights to switches and controls, but at $30, I can toss it in the desert if it doesn't work out and not give a Nico.

(Being a Green Biker, I wouldn't actually toss my cruise contrlol into the desert). The foregoing was for informational purposes only.

I'm "Valdez", and I approve of this message......

Well lone Juan, I hope you have a pleasant experience with your Vista and if you do find it to just be a piece of Nico I don't blame you for whipping it into the Docin desert.

That custom cruise is more than a bit pricey, its outrageous, at $893.00 Aud I would hope it does a lot more than just set the throttle. The Audiovox unit seems a lot better value in my opinion.

Agree. That $30 Vista does look pretty good compared to $893 doesn't it?
